Almost 7 Quick Takes Friday

I would rather be doing this than typing, but I’m afraid I’d never get up again

Well. We survived the first week of school. And may I just say that even when you wake up at roughly the same time as you usually do, waking up and immediately springing into action as opposed to stumbling around and drinking coffee for an hour makes the days seem so much longer. So, so much longer.

Endlessly long.

These days are made longer because the knowledge I gained over the summer, that hanging out with people IRL makes me a better, happier person, has resulted in me making, like, multiple playdates a week.

Multiple. As in more than one.

Most of these are with mothers who I’ve only hung out with once or twice (since that’s basically everyone in Ave Maria), so I figured I should wait until the third playdate before bringing my handy-dandy playdate bible.
